As the name implies, this mock features a lot of players that I think "THE MASTER" - if he is still here next year - can turn into one of the biggest, BADDEST Dlines in the NFL. Of course, I will NOT forsake the offense, but, the D is in drastic need of improvements. This draft is also contingent on certain Jr.'s declaring and, unfortunately, the team losing a particular stud defender due to a lack of funds. Without further ado, here we go:
Round 1: Stephon Tuitt, DE/DT - Notre Dame I think he would be a great young REPLACEMENT for Hatch, who, I think we all know, probably won't be back. He's gonna command some good $$$ this offseason. There's not much this kid can't do. Would be great at the 3T - just like Hatch has been this year.
Round 2: Anthony Steen, G - 'Bama The duo of Yankey & Richardson probably won't drop to Round 2 and I couldn't justify picking either of them over Tuitt in Round 1. The unsung member of one of the best college Olines in decades. Could be the L or RG for the next 10 years next Frederick.
Round 3: Antone Exum, CB/S - Va. Tech Ultra talented kid less than a year removed from, you guessed it, and ACL injury. Was A BEAST his Jr. season as helined up at both the CB and FS positions. Had 48 tackles, 16 PBU's, and 5 picks in '12.
Round 4: Daniel McCullers, DT - Tennessee Here's Marinelli's next (literally) BIG project. We've all been talking lately about some of the flaws of the D. I for one am of the belief that the scheme would work even better with a REAL, POCKET-PUSHING, TED WASHINGTON-CLONE DT at the 1T. Look at how great Minnesota's Dline was with the William's Wall or how effective Cincy's Dline is with 325+ Domata Peko pushing the middle and freeing up Atkins, Johnson, and Dunlap to just attack the backfield on every play. Two good, young 6'6" dudes in the middle would be a LOT for any interioir Oline to handle.
Round 5: Carlos Hyde, RB - Ohio St. Big brusier with good speed to pair with Murray and Dunbar. And, MOST IMPORTANTLY, would a) allow Dallas to use Murray in away that could probably save him from so many injuries and b) be a starting-caliber back WHEN Murray gets hurt. Drops this far because RB's are dropping nowadays and he had an off-the-field incident in which he was cleared.
Only did 5 Rounds since I have no clue what picks we have after that. SKEWER AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
